– Ain't It Cool News
"A dark, violent satire. Supremely disturbing."

"One of the smartest teen horrors I've watched in some time...Two new faces at Toronto who show more artistic verve and bravery than many of the festival's masters are co-directors Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel, the filmmakers behind the clever, scary, unsettlingly sexual teenage bondage thriller..."
– IndieWIRE
"Forget what you've heard. Past any controversy, Deadgirl is a film beautiful in every way: about friendship, love, rejection, obsession and all the horror that comes along with such teenaged emotions. See it and make it the classic it deserves to be."
